Santa Ana has one of the largest youth populations in California. For decades, it has also been “park poor.”
That means that children, youth and families in the city had very limited community recreation areas, green spaces, bike lanes or skate parks.
Nearly 31% of the population of Santa Ana is under 18-years-old, making it one the youngest cities in the U.S.
Beginning in 2016, a group of KidWorks youth set out to change all that.
More than 50 Orange County chefs joined culinary forces at the 3rd Annual Festival of OC Chefs event. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and guests, over $800,000 was raised in support of KidWorks College Success programs. This video gives a taste of the evening.
Thank You to our 2023 Event Sponsors
